Very nice, but a little slow.

My dog had 3 back to back trips to the vet. He is in an English Bulldog so this is not uncommon. It was nice that even though the visits were so close to one another that nationwide was able to payout on all 3 helping alleviate the cost of the medical bills for my awesome puppy. He is only 4 and has a lot of life left in him. And with the help of nationwide I will be able to make it a bit longer. Only thing I will say is it took the full 30 days BUT I am not sure if this is because all of my claims were so close to each other. Will update if they ask me to if I only have 1 claim.

My dog has a "pre-existing condition" and "secondary conditions",so not a lot is covered.

Not covered for $10,000.00 of "pre-existing" and "secondary conditions". So, not entirely satisfied with the insurance companies.

in the old times, well, it was all out of my own pocket.

Thank you very much. As stated, years ago and after eight dogs it was all on us. Thank you for your help.
